Word origin
The word 'deliver' comes from the Latin word 'deliberare', meaning 'to free' or 'to set free'. This evolved through Old French as 'delivrer' into the Middle English 'deliveren'. The term historically referred to the act of relieving or freeing someone from a burden, which eventually led to its more modern applications in commerce and communication, where it signifies the act of transferring items or services from one party to another. The transformation of its meaning from a more abstract concept of freedom to a concrete one of transporting goods mirrors societal shifts towards trade and logistics. The use of 'delivered' signifies a completed action and reflects the importance of reliable delivery in commerce, which has become a cornerstone of modern economics.
